Yoga 101: A Quick and Dirty Reference for You and Your Patients

I had the great pleasure of acting as right-hand woman to my dear friend and yoga for pelvic health expert, Dustienne Miller, this past weekend.  I got to chime in, answer questions, and lend assists as she led 25 pelvic floor physical therapists in her Herman & Wallace course, Yoga for Pelvic Pain, in Seattle, WA.

One fun thing about the class was that we had women of all levels of yoga experience in the class which allowed us to show up and teach from a beginner’s point a view.  I was inspired to write this blog as a “quick and dirty” reference for the types of yoga one might encounter so that my fellow PTs and potential clients can make appropriate referrals/choices when they choose to seek out a yoga practice.  This list is by no means exhaustive nor is it more than a very basic way of interpreting the types and styles of classes that you may see on a yoga schedule.
